Technology Demonstrations of the Proposed USMC Field Feeding System for the 1990s

Abstract

This report documents three field evaluations (technology demonstrations) of the proposed new field feeding system concept to support U.S. Marine Corps combat forces in the 1990s. Field evaluation objectives were to validate required system performance characteristics and projected system benefits. Evaluation results clearly demonstrate that the proposed system has the responsiveness, mobility, and flexibility characteristics required to maximize both the frequency and the acceptability of the hot meals provided, given the tactical situation. In addition, results confirm that the new system offers significant reductions (over 60%) in foodservice system personnel and fuel requirements. Keywords include: Combat food service; Field feeding; Mobile food service unit; Modular field kitchens; Field evaluations; T rations; Tray packs.
